Symbolic action against Wolves

And Nolan Traore is taking part thanks to his consistent energy, as he stood up to Draymond Green last night in particular, and his coach praised his efforts against Wolves.

The former St. Quentin player torpedoed Minnesota’s lane in the fourth quarter, before catching a powerful pass from Julius Randle. “CT (Cam Thomas) takes a good 3-pointer and misses it, and on the pull-up, Nolan makes a valuable move to put the ball in the circle. Then CT, who was shooting, fights for the rebound, but Randle ends up getting it back. So the guy who shot is the one who goes back to fight for the rebound, and the guy who rebounded also made the save.” analyze Jordi Fernandez. “The guys in the rotation celebrated, and the guys out of the rotation, and so did the staff. We need that energy, especially from the outside, and that’s what we do. But we have to do it over and over again.”
